Guests can “dip, stack, wrap or remix” flavors at the restaurants, the brand said.

Both grand openings will include giveaways and complimentary bites while supplies last.

The events are also expected to introduce two product launches.

One is a Saucy! x DRIPS by Pepsi collaboration featuring four exclusive drinks described by the brand as “mood-inspired.”

The other is the Big Sammie, made in partnership with King’s Hawaiian.

The sandwich includes “two crispy, golden chicken tendies stacked between a soft, slightly sweet King’s Hawaiian bun with crunchy greens, crispy hashbrown straws, drizzled with your choice of a signature Saucy! sauce to finish it off,” the news release said.
